Travelling around Southern Africa is one of the world’s great travel experiences, and something everyone should have on their wish list. From Namibia’s awesome deserts and Lesotho’s soaring mountains to South Africa’s golden beaches and Swaziland’s bushveld reserves, you don’t have to be a millionaire to enjoy this classic chunk of Africa.

With a little planning, you can see the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) in epic wildlife parks, and witness the natural spectacle of Victoria Falls, without bankrupting yourself.

A network of well-equipped backpacker hostels, many in locations that outdo Western hotels, and affordable transport options make budget independent travel a breeze. With a bustling backpacker scene offering activities from township visits to dawn safaris, backpacking around Southern Africa shows you the best of this beautiful part of the continent.
